We don’t all have the luxury of living in huge houses! With house prices seemingly eternally on the rise, it’s often a complete nightmare to find a decent home. Especially if you live in the capital… And when you finally find an apartment to meet your needs, you need to furnish it intelligently to make sure you are not falling over yourself in the limited space. Here are 15 genius ideas to optimise a small living space.
1/ Don’t overload the walls
Overloading your home with bookshelves, pictures and paintings isn’t always the best idea when you have limited space. Simplify!
2/ Hang plenty of mirrors
Mirrors create the illusion of never-ending space. Don’t hesitate to go overboard! The bigger the better.
3/ Go for long rather than short curtains
Long curtains give the illusion that your room is a few square feet bigger.
4/ Add a shelf above your sink to gain storage space
Have you run out of space on your worktops? Install a shelf above your sink to solve the problem.
5/ Don’t buy ornaments, but plants
There is nothing more decorative than a green plant in a pretty pot! Avoid cluttering your living space with ornaments that do nothing more than take up space. Plants have the advantage of adding a touch of stylish freshness to your interior, all the while purifying the air. Hanging plants are an even better space saver.
